The story

A further view of Mark Worst's 2017 Kingfisher on Johnston Street, the town's nod to naturalist Alexander Wilson. Its electric blues and oranges make it one of the trail's signature images.

You'll find it on Johnston Street in Paisley town centre — a free, self-guided walk that takes in fifty-two painted walls across the old streets.

Mark Worst has 9 murals on the trail in total. Look out for their other work as you walk the route.

The mural is on a public street, free to view, and visible day or night — though you'll get the best photos in daylight. Use the interactive trail map to plan your walk.
